Measures 13 ½" x 11". Published by the famous Publishing House of Adolf Marx in St. Petersburg. The printed textual notations are in the pre-1917 reform orthography, using letters the reform made obsolete. The map is covered with handwritten notations in pencil, noting the tribes populating certain areas, and in some cases their major products, e.g., silk, honey, etc. The notations on the right margin list natural resources of the region. It looks as if a student was helping his memory by making these notations directly on the map. Note that they are also in the old orthography, thus contemporary to the map.

The insert in the lower left-hand corner is the region famous for its natural mineral water springs and balneological resorts.

In very good condition. The margins show considerable staining but it is mostly confined to the margins and does not reach the map proper. The paper is high-quality, and shows no wear to the edges or corners. The fold line is reinforced on the verso with tape and shows a very short separation at the bottom, easily repairable with a tiny smear of glue.

Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
